I drug out the C64 on Friday and I think it might be fun for Peter to learn some BASIC programming with it. Does anyone have a cable for the video? Or some...
I'll have to double-check, but I believe I have some of those things. Definitely the video cable and manual; possibly game cartridges; perhaps a joystick,...

I strongly suggest Liberty Basic (www.libertybasic.com). It has several large advantages: * It comes with an excellent help file, many simple sample programs,...
Hi Jeff and Brian, I ask myself (and you guys!) this question all the time. Although I bonded to C long ago and probably will always favor it, I learned in a...

This may sound odd, but what about javascript? It's a relatively structured language with a C-similar syntax, which makes it a good stepping point for C, Java,...

I am confused because the cable that I thought that I made several years ago for the plotter didn't work. I started wondering if I had actually made that...
Ron, I had to fight with cables too to get my 7550 and 7440A running the first time. There were several different versions of cables that I had to make,...

I don't see that you are setting SSPIE (interrupt enable) in the PIC. Try that and see if you get i2c interrupts. -- Jeff Sampson (651)605-8884 HSS Group -...

I spoke too soon. I see the SSPIE gets set in Init. You probably don't want to enable interrupts until everything is initialized. Move the GIE = 1 to the end...

Great! I moved the I2C ISR to the top and it works! I wonder what was interfering with the ISR. Thanks so much for the quick reply. Until I mess something else...
If that fixes it, then I'm guessing this is what is causing it: rx_isr: call rxBufInsert ; NOTE: clear interrupt by reading RCREG, done here in routine call...

For the sake of completeness -- The UART RX interrupt is cleared by hardware when reading RCREG. What is more interesting was the problem with the sonar PIC --...
